For test purposes, the best sediment simulant is prepared based on soft deep-sea sediment from a C-C poly-metallic nodule mining area in the Pacific Ocean. Compressive creep tests and shear creep tests are combined to obtain compressive and shear rheological parameters to establish a combined compressive-shear rheological constitutive model and a compression-sinkage rheological constitutive model. The combined compression-shear rheological sinkage of the tracked mining vehicle at different speeds is calculated using the RecurDyn software with a selfprogrammed subroutine to implement the combined compression-shear rheological constitutive model. The model results are compared with shear rheological sinkage and ordinary sinkage (without consideration of rheological properties). These results show that the combined compression-shear rheological constitutive model must be taken into account when calculating the sinkage of a tracked mining vehicle. The combined compression-shear rheological sinkage decrease with vehicle speed and is the largest among the three types of sinkage. The developed subroutine in the RecurDyn software can be used to study the performance and structural optimization of moving tracked mining vehicles. Keyword : sinkage; RecurDyn; soft deep-sea sediment; combined compression-shear rheology; tracked mining vehicle INTRODUCTION It is well known that there are rich mineral resources below the seabed in the deep sea. Recently, the exploitation of deep-sea resources has been attracting increasing attention from researchers and engineers all over the world (Lin et al., 99; Rao et al., 9). Currently, there are a few systems for mining deepsea minerals (known as nodules), e.g., the continuous chain-bucket method, a method involving compressed air and a hydraulic lift, and the shuttle down-the-hole lift method. All of these mining systems consist of five main parts: a mining ship, a flexible hose, a buffer, a rigid pipe, and a tracked mining vehicle. In particular, the movement characteristics of the mining vehicle on the seabed play an important role in deepsea mining operations (Lv et al., ). Soft deep-sea sediments have higher water content, greater void ratio, and lower shear strength than do land soils, and are more rheological in nature (Chen et al., ; Ma et al., a). Hence, tracked mining vehicles that operate on deep-sea beds can easily slip or even sink into the seabed, causing the mining operation to fail (Gigler and Ward, 99; Caccia et al., ; Letherwood and Gunter, ; Dai, ). With regard to tracked mining vehicles, there have been various studies of how they interact with land soil. Bekker theory and Reece theory have been used to investigate the effect of the vertical bearing force of * Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Nos. 7, 6) ** Corresponding author: raoqh@csu.edu.cn

However, those studies either failed to consider the rheological properties of land soil or only considered such properties in one direction (compression or shear). For soft deep-sea sediment, there have been even fewer studies of the influence of its rheological properties on the performance of tracked mining vehicles, let alone its combined compression-shear rheological properties. In the present study, we prepare an artificial material to simulate the properties of soft deep-sea sediment from a poly-metallic nodule mining area in the Pacific Ocean. We conduct compressive creep tests under different compressive stresses and shear creep tests under different compressive and shear stresses. These tests are intended to simulate the shear and compressive stresses that a mining vehicle exerts simultaneously on the soft sediment because of its weight and movement. The creep tests are used to obtain compressive and shear rheological parameters to establish a compression-sinkage model and a combined compression-shear rheological constitutive model. The combined compression-shear rheological sinkage of the tracked mining vehicle is calculated for different speeds by using the RecurDyn software with a self-programmed combined compression-shear rheological constitutive model for comparison with shear rheological sinkage and ordinary sinkage (i.e., without considering the rheological properties). The developed RecurDyn software can be used to study the performance and structural optimization of the moving tracked mining vehicle. Simulative soil Supporter Steel weight COMPRESSIVE AND SHEAR CREEP TESTS. Preparation of the deep-sea sediment simulant In this study, we focus on the soft deep-sea sediment from a C-C poly-metallic nodule mining area in the Pacific Ocean ( m deep). Its physical and mechanical properties are given in Table in relation to particle size, liquid plastic limit, specific surface, compressive modulus, cohesion, and internal friction angle (Ma et al., b). Because the supply of this sediment was limited, we had to find a sediment simulant for the various experimental studies that we wished to conduct. Usually, a sediment simulant is a mixture of bentonites and water (Schulte et al., ; Ma et al., a, b). Therefore, we prepared four types of sediment simulant (namely S S) by mixing four forms of bentonite with different percentages of water, as listed in Table (Ma et al., a); the water content is defined as the ratio of water content to solids content. In Table, we see that the S sediment simulant is the closest to the deep-sea sediment in relation to their physical and mechanical parameters, and therefore is the best substitute material.. Testing procedure Fig. Compressive creep test Bearing plate Soil box The compressive-creep test equipment shown in Fig. was used to obtain compressive-creep curves for each sediment simulant over a range of compressive stress = kpa in -kpa steps. In the sediment container, weights on the bearing plate applied a

Figure shows a shear-creep apparatus that was designed inhouse, in which a specific compressive stress (again, = kpa in -kpa steps) was applied by a vertical loading weight and a specific shear stress τ ( τ = 6 kpa in -kpa steps) was applied by a horizontal loading weight. Under specific constant values of and τ (6 groups in total), the shear displacement s was recorded automatically every second (with high precision) by an NS-WY displacement sensor until the displacement had stabilized (Ma et al., a). COMPRESSIVE AND SHEAR RHEOLOGICAL CONSTITUTIVE EQUATIONS. Compressive rheological constitutive equation Figure illustrates the compressive creep curves of the deep-sea sediment simulant under different constant values of compressive stress. The Kelvin- Hooke rheological model (Fig.), containing two springs and one dashpot, is used to fit these curves ( z - t ) by transferring the σ - ε (compressive-stresscompressive-strain) equation (Eq.) to the σ - z (compressive-stress-sinkage) equation given in Eq.: E - t t, e E E, () where E and E are the compressive elastic moduli of the sediment simulant and η is its viscosity; E - t, t e z, () E E where E and E are compressive elastic parameters proportional to the compressive elastic moduli E and E, respectively, and is a viscous parameter proportional to the viscosity η. Equations and clearly have the same form except for E, E, and instead of E, E, and η. Figure shows the test data (solid points) in z - t - σ space and the curved surface of Eq. fitted using the TableCurve-D curve and surface fitting software. Table lists the fitted compressive creep parameters, where the coefficient of determination R is.98.

(9) SINKAGE SIMULATION OF THE MOVING TRACKED MINING VEHICLE. Self-programming of compression-shear rheological constitutive model We used the multi-body dynamics simulation software RecurDyn (Recursive Dynamic) to calculate Simulative soil Sprocket Track shoe the sinkage of the moving tracked mining vehicle based on the combined compression-shear rheological properties of the soft deep-sea sediment. Because the RecurDyn software incorporates only the independent compression-sinkage model proposed by Bekker (969) and the shear stress-displacement model proposed by Janosi and Hanamoto (96), the combined compression-shear rheological constitutive model had to be self-programmed into the RecurDyn software, as well as the direct-shear rheological constitutive model and ordinary constitutive model (without consideration of rheological properties) for comparison. Microsoft Visual Studio was used to program and compile the compression-shear rheological constitutive model written in the FORTRAN language, namely CSRCM.for in short. File CSRCM. for must be put in the same current directory as SOLVER.LIB and SYSCAL.F files of RecurDyn, and DFORDLL.LIB, DCONSOL.LIB, and DFPORT.LIB files of FORTRAN, in order to generate the executive file CSRCM.DLL as a called user subroutine in the RecurDyn software.. Calculation model Mass block Track frame Road wheel As shown in Fig.9, a simplified tracked mining vehicle was used, consisting of two steel crawlers and a steel mass block on the top. This vehicle moves on a deep-sea sediment simulant with the combined compression-shear rheological properties introduced by CSRCM. for program. Each crawler has track shoes, three road wheels, two carrier idlers, one sprocket, one idler, and one track frame. Its geometric parameters are listed in Table, and Table 6 gives constraint type of each component. Because the actual speed of a moving tracked mining vehicle on the seabed is usually in the range of.. m/s (Chen et al., ), the speed range ( v ) of.. m/s was adopted for the simulation calculations in this study, as well as the motionless V Carrier roller Idler Fig.9 Three-dimensional model of moving tracked mining vehicle

The centroid rheological sinkage of the tracked mining vehicle was calculated by the RecurDyn software with the self-programmed CSRCM.DLL for the rheological properties of the deep-sea sediment simulant. The subsystem toolkit in RecurDyn was used to create and assemble the various components (i.e., track shoe, sprocket, idler, road wheel, carrier roller, track frame, and mass block). The detail procedures are ) to set the modeling environment parameters (including units, material types, acceleration due to gravity, and orientation); ) to create the track shoes by inputting their geometrical data and grouser profile; ) to create the sprocket and idlers by adjusting their geometrical data and tooth profiles; ) to create the road wheels and carrier rollers by modifying their hub and flange radii; ) to assemble the components after choosing the track frame and mass block (i.e., the simplified tracked mining vehicle); 6) to create an analysis job and set the analysis type and simulation time; 7) to create the deep seabed model under the tracked mining vehicle model and adjust their relative position. RESULT AND ANALYSES Figure shows the combined compression-shear rheological sinkage z of the tracked mining vehicle at different vehicle speeds v. These curves can be divided into two stages: the instantaneous displacement occurring during the initial loading period ( t =. s), and the creep sinkage ( t =. s). Clearly, the sinkage decreases and tends to become more stable as the vehicle moves faster. This is because creep varies with time, and hence there is less time for the deepsea sediment simulant to creep when the tracked mining vehicle moves faster, whereby the creep 6 8 Fig. Direct-shear rheological sinkage at different vehicle speeds sinkage becomes smaller. Those results are consistent with the findings of Bekker (969), and so we conclude that the RecurDyn software is reliable. Figure shows the direct-shear rheological sinkage z of the tracked mining vehicle at different vehicle speeds ( v ), in which σ is equal to kpa in compression-shear rheological constitutive model. Compared with Fig., it can be seen that the directshear rheological sinkage is smaller than the combined compression-shear rheological sinkage at the same speed. Because the compressive stress ( σ ) at the interface between the track shoe and the deep-sea sediment simulant changes as the tracked mining vehicle moves, it has a considerable effect on the direct-shear rheological properties of the deep-sea sediment simulant. Therefore, the combined compression-shear rheological model rather than the direct-shear rheological model must be taken into account in predicting the sinkage of the tracked mining vehicle. Figure shows the ordinary sinkage ( z ) at different speeds ( v ) without consideration of the rheological properties of the deep-sea sediment simulant. It is can be seen that with the related constitutive equation and the parameters from the literature (Han, ) that are input directly into RecurDyn, the sinkage curves become steady after s and reach the same value (roughly mm in depth in Fig.) after s, neither of which are influenced by the vehicle speed. By comparing the sinkage curves in Fig. with those in Figs. and at the same vehicle speed, we conclude that the sinkage without consideration of rheological properties is much smaller than that with consideration of rheological properties, and that the combined compression-shear rheological sinkage is

Noticeably, the rheological properties of the deep-sea sediment simulant have a considerable effect on the sinkage of the tracked mining vehicle. 6 CONCLUSION ) The best deep-sea sediment simulant was obtained by mixing bentonite with a certain percentage of water in order to have the closest physical and mechanical properties to those of the soft deep-sea sediment, including wet density, water content, cohesion, and internal friction. ) The combined compression-shear rheological constitutive model must be taken into account when calculating the sinkage of the tracked mining vehicle. This is because the shear rheological parameters of the sediment simulant are influenced greatly by the compressive stress (which changes as the tracked mining vehicle moves). ) The combined compression-shear rheological sinkage of the tracked mining vehicle at different speeds was calculated by the RecurDyn software with a self-programmed compression-shear rheological constitutive model. This sinkage decreased with vehicle speed. ) The ordinary sinkage (i.e., without consideration of the rheological properties) was much smaller than that with consideration of the combined compressionshear and direct-shear rheological properties. The combined compression-shear rheological sinkage was the largest. ) The RecurDyn software with a self-programmed compression-shear rheological constitutive model can be used to study the movement performance and structural optimization of a tracked mining vehicle.
